WOMAN RCAF OFFICER ADDRESSES LIONS CLUB (Continued from page 1) year ago when women enlisted, replaced men in seven trades, on the first anniversary of the men’s are being enlisted in 28 trades and the need is as great or greater than it was because the women in the Services have shown that they can do the work efficiently and helping their native country in ans­ wering that very vital call of “what can I do to help win this war,” Wo­ men in the Royal Canadian Air Force are now- serving on many of the Stations from the Atlahtic to the Pacific, in the United States, in •Newfoundland, and in England. Section Officer Belding made two trips to Newfoundland in August as Escort Officer and she paid tribute to the airwomen who faced .the dan­ gers of the Atlantic to serve in that country and in England. She fur­ ther declared that when the women in the Services returned to civilian life, they will be the leaders of theii' communities because they have learned discipline, how to give and take orders, to live a sacrificing and worthwhile life, explaining the only reason they are in the Service is to help keep safe and intact the homes which they left and to protect their loved ones. She further said that the women of Canada are really in the front line of battle as much as the men, and that the home front morale is the, responsibility of those not able to serve in the active forces. The following R.C.A.F. officers attended the luncheon as guests of the Lions Club: Group Captain Ful­ lerton, Wing Commander Beaumont, Squadron Leader Webster, Squadron Leader Gamble, Squadron Leader Crankshaw, Squadron Leader O’­ Leary, Section’ Officer McDonald and Section Officer ..Belding, the last two mentioned being women of­ ficers. Section Officer McDonald is the senior woman officer at 9 S.F.T.S. Canada’s Third Victory Loan ably introduced when Lion N. Creech, sub-chairman for Hur­ on County, gave a fine address out­ lining Canada’s war effort and the need for the raising of the $750,000,- 000. In the course of his remarks he stated that at the beginning of the war in September, 1939, Can­ ada had fifteen vessels, six fighting ships, and less than 1,800 sailors. Now she has over 500 active ships and 41,'000 men. The army has in­ creased from 4,500 to 350,000 in the active army and 100,000 in re­ serve. The R.C.A.F. has increased from 4,000 to "over 125,0'00 with nearly one hundred schools in the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. Over one million men and women are now engaged in war work* turning out guns, tanks and planes that beforb the war were not manufactured in Canada. The men in the fighting lines mu^t be equip­ ped and supported by our dollars.
